HEc fcXP&RlEIICm OF A 3UIFETI3IE, Combined with attention, caution and carefulness, have enabled the proprietors of Dr. Guy soft's Yellow Dock and Sarsaparilla to make it the best blood purifier in the world, the surest strenpthener of the urinary and digestive organs, the finest alterative, tha truest tonic. A lady who suffered from weaknpss peculiar to her fcx, in writing to a friend said : "I trie.1 various kidney medicines, but only found myself growing worse. Mv hun brine! brought wc a bottle of S .

I can not praiu the remedy too highlv as a true friend to fullering women and as a strengthening medicine." It is the safest remedy a lady can use, as it leaves no unpleasant afler effects nor does its discontinuance cause a craving for its further use. istriatiG Who find difficulty in breathing 8 source of rriuch distress and annoyance should give Dr. Wistar's Balsam of Wild Cherry a trial, for therein they will assuredly find relief and . in many instances it will effect a permanent cure. It is the best family medicine in the world. A single teaspoonful will cure an ordinary cough or cold ; a few bottles will cure consumption if taken in time.

For a period of fonr years I've been a vic tim of a very severe and agonizing case of salt rbenm, which affected my haDds to such an extent that tbey almost became a bnrden. My hand became raw and horrifying, compelling me to keep it covered all the time. 1 ve spent hundreds or dollars tor various preparations, bnt instead of benefiting my condition, they all seemed to stimulate and encourage the progress of the miserable disease, until I had about given up all hope. But thank heaven, "the darkest hoar is before day," and I am rejoiced to know that a positive cure has been round, which known as B. B. B. Botanic Blood Balm. My family all rejoice at its magical cura tive powers in giving me relief. My band has been cured and resembles a bnrnt sur face after being healed over, more than any thing else It has also cured my two chil dren of a loathsome form of itch which had resisted all previous treatment.

The New York Sun says, that Don M. Dickinson, the new Postmaster Gen eral, is a man of affairs, with a clear head and uncommon energy.- His ca pacity for executive management is abundantly attested by those who know him well. The Hocking Sentinel says Leslie Mc Pherson "is not very tall, nor very hefty, but he is every inch a man and every ounce a Democrat, and a typical Ohio boy from away back in Pickaway. He has our congratulations on his de served appointment." According to a Detroit paper "the more the President s message is dis cussed the clearer it appears that he put his foot in it" Oh, no, he didn't. The protectionists who set up a howl and readjusted their coat-tails know better than that where the President put his foot. Gen. E. S.

Lowe. Deab Father, Mother and Home: Watertown, D. T. Jan. 13, '88. There has not been a car wheel turn ed in Watertown for five or six days and probably will not be for several days to come. Indeed, I shall be thankful if mails get to going inside of several weeks. No telling when you will receive this, but long before, I expect you will have read horrible newspaper accounts of tbe terrible. Dakota blizzard which has been upon us for the last forty-eight hours. We have just been yisited by the worst storm that Dakota has ever known, and perhaps the worst that the world has ever known. I don't think it would do any good for me to try to describe this stornv for it would be- impossible for any one to even realise what it was like. But you can perhaps get a faint idea when I tell you that right here in the business heart of our city business n who only lived three and four blocks away from their business could not get home. A few were bold enough to try it, but all who did try it got lost and had to stop with some one else un til after the storm. The storm started here Wednesday morning, and the following night was very bad, abating some The farmers are moving. At a meet ing of the Farmers' Alliance in Bureau county, Illinois, a memorial to Congress was adopted, with but one dissenting voice, asking for a reduction of $100,- 000,000 in Federal taxes, and that lum ber, salt, sugar, wool, coal and copper shall be put on the free list. They also protest against the removal of the tax on tobaeco and whisky. The Philadelphia 7We says : In spite of the hysterical fears of the Republican Senators the earth will make its daily revolution just the same as though Mr. Lamar had not been con firmed. The Union will not be dissolv ed and the Senators will be able to draw their Senatorial salaries and make their prosy speeches just the same as ever. In other words, the American Union has come to stay, and the appointment of any man to a seat on the Supreme Bench is not going to shatter it into fragments. Much less is there any prospoct of serious danger to the country and its institutions when the appointee is a man so thoroughly com petent for the place as Mr. Lamar. John P. Rea, of Minnesota, Com mander-in-Chief of the G. A.

Hon. Lucius Q. C. Lamar, of Missis sippi, the newly appointed J ustice of the Supreme Court of the United States, was born in Putnam county, Ga., on September 17, 1825. Graduating from Emory College, Georgia, in 1845, he studied law, and, after serving for year as Assistant Professor of Mathe matics in the State University at Oxford, began tbe practice of his profession at Covington, Ga., in 1853. Going into politics, be was elected to the State Legislature in 1853. He removed to Mississippi the next year, settling on a plantation in Lafayette county. In 1857 he was elected to Congress from Missis sippi. An intense pro-slavery man, he re signed from Congress in 1860 to take a seat in the Secession Convention of his State, and in 1861 entered the Confed erate Army as Lieutenant-Colonel of the regiment of which he ultimately became Colonel. But before the regi ment came under fire he was stricken with paralysis in front of his tent and was confined to his room for a year. In 1863, after he had recovered, he was sent by Jeff Davis to England and Rus Bia to influence public feeling in behalf of the Southern States. He remained steadfast to the "lost cause" until the surrender of Lee, and then retired to the University of Mississippi, where he was elected Professor of Political Economy and Social Science, from which chair he was transferred to that of Law in 1867. In 1873 he reappeared in Washington as a member of Congress from MisBis sippi, but attracted little public attention until he suddenly made himself a conspicuous national figure by the de livery of an eloquent eulogy of Charles Sumner, in the House of Representa tives, on the 14th of March, 1874. In 1877 he was transferred from the House to the Senate, in which body he had Blanche K. Bruce, a colored man, for his colleague during the first four years of his term. Mr. Lamar was re-elected to the Sen ate in 1883, but retired from that body in March, 1885, to take the place in the Cabinet as Secretary of the Interior which was tendered him by. President Cleveland. He was the oldest member of the Cabinet, probably the most learn ed, the most eloquent and the most pic turesque in personal appearance.

HEc fcXP&RlEIICm OF A 3UIFETI3IE, Combined with attention, caution and carefulness, have enabled the proprietors of Dr. Guy soft's Yellow Dock and Sarsaparilla to make it the best blood purifier in the world, the surest strenpthener of the urinary and digestive organs, the finest alterative, tha truest tonic. A lady who suffered from weaknpss peculiar to her fcx, in writing to a friend said : "I trie.1 various kidney medicines, but only found myself growing worse. Mv hun brine! brought wc a bottle of S .

It is the safest remedy a lady can use, as it leaves no unpleasant afler effects nor does its discontinuance cause a craving for its further use. istriatiG Who find difficulty in breathing 8 source of rriuch distress and annoyance should give Dr. Wistar's Balsam of Wild Cherry a trial, for therein they will assuredly find relief and . in many instances it will effect a permanent cure. It is the best family medicine in the world. A single teaspoonful will cure an ordinary cough or cold ; a few bottles will cure consumption if taken in time.

For a period of fonr years I've been a vic tim of a very severe and agonizing case of salt rbenm, which affected my haDds to such an extent that tbey almost became a bnrden. My hand became raw and horrifying, compelling me to keep it covered all the time. 1 ve spent hundreds or dollars tor various preparations, bnt instead of benefiting my condition, they all seemed to stimulate and encourage the progress of the miserable disease, until I had about given up all hope. But thank heaven, "the darkest hoar is before day," and I am rejoiced to know that a positive cure has been round, which known as B. B. B. Botanic Blood Balm. My family all rejoice at its magical cura tive powers in giving me relief. My band has been cured and resembles a bnrnt sur face after being healed over, more than any thing else It has also cured my two chil dren of a loathsome form of itch which had resisted all previous treatment.

The New York Sun says, that Don M. Dickinson, the new Postmaster Gen eral, is a man of affairs, with a clear head and uncommon energy.- His ca pacity for executive management is abundantly attested by those who know him well. The Hocking Sentinel says Leslie Mc Pherson "is not very tall, nor very hefty, but he is every inch a man and every ounce a Democrat, and a typical Ohio boy from away back in Pickaway. He has our congratulations on his de served appointment." According to a Detroit paper "the more the President s message is dis cussed the clearer it appears that he put his foot in it" Oh, no, he didn't. The protectionists who set up a howl and readjusted their coat-tails know better than that where the President put his foot. Gen. E. S.

Lowe. Deab Father, Mother and Home: Watertown, D. T. Jan. 13, '88. There has not been a car wheel turn ed in Watertown for five or six days and probably will not be for several days to come. Indeed, I shall be thankful if mails get to going inside of several weeks. No telling when you will receive this, but long before, I expect you will have read horrible newspaper accounts of tbe terrible. Dakota blizzard which has been upon us for the last forty-eight hours. We have just been yisited by the worst storm that Dakota has ever known, and perhaps the worst that the world has ever known. I don't think it would do any good for me to try to describe this stornv for it would be- impossible for any one to even realise what it was like. But you can perhaps get a faint idea when I tell you that right here in the business heart of our city business n who only lived three and four blocks away from their business could not get home. A few were bold enough to try it, but all who did try it got lost and had to stop with some one else un til after the storm. The storm started here Wednesday morning, and the following night was very bad, abating some The farmers are moving. At a meet ing of the Farmers' Alliance in Bureau county, Illinois, a memorial to Congress was adopted, with but one dissenting voice, asking for a reduction of $100,- 000,000 in Federal taxes, and that lum ber, salt, sugar, wool, coal and copper shall be put on the free list. They also protest against the removal of the tax on tobaeco and whisky. The Philadelphia 7We says : In spite of the hysterical fears of the Republican Senators the earth will make its daily revolution just the same as though Mr. Lamar had not been con firmed. The Union will not be dissolv ed and the Senators will be able to draw their Senatorial salaries and make their prosy speeches just the same as ever. In other words, the American Union has come to stay, and the appointment of any man to a seat on the Supreme Bench is not going to shatter it into fragments. Much less is there any prospoct of serious danger to the country and its institutions when the appointee is a man so thoroughly com petent for the place as Mr. Lamar. John P. Rea, of Minnesota, Com mander-in-Chief of the G. A.

Hon. Lucius Q. C. Lamar, of Missis sippi, the newly appointed J ustice of the Supreme Court of the United States, was born in Putnam county, Ga., on September 17, 1825. Graduating from Emory College, Georgia, in 1845, he studied law, and, after serving for year as Assistant Professor of Mathe matics in the State University at Oxford, began tbe practice of his profession at Covington, Ga., in 1853. Going into politics, be was elected to the State Legislature in 1853. He removed to Mississippi the next year, settling on a plantation in Lafayette county. In 1857 he was elected to Congress from Missis sippi. An intense pro-slavery man, he re signed from Congress in 1860 to take a seat in the Secession Convention of his State, and in 1861 entered the Confed erate Army as Lieutenant-Colonel of the regiment of which he ultimately became Colonel. But before the regi ment came under fire he was stricken with paralysis in front of his tent and was confined to his room for a year. In 1863, after he had recovered, he was sent by Jeff Davis to England and Rus Bia to influence public feeling in behalf of the Southern States. He remained steadfast to the "lost cause" until the surrender of Lee, and then retired to the University of Mississippi, where he was elected Professor of Political Economy and Social Science, from which chair he was transferred to that of Law in 1867. In 1873 he reappeared in Washington as a member of Congress from MisBis sippi, but attracted little public attention until he suddenly made himself a conspicuous national figure by the de livery of an eloquent eulogy of Charles Sumner, in the House of Representa tives, on the 14th of March, 1874. In 1877 he was transferred from the House to the Senate, in which body he had Blanche K. Bruce, a colored man, for his colleague during the first four years of his term. Mr. Lamar was re-elected to the Sen ate in 1883, but retired from that body in March, 1885, to take the place in the Cabinet as Secretary of the Interior which was tendered him by. President Cleveland. He was the oldest member of the Cabinet, probably the most learn ed, the most eloquent and the most pic turesque in personal appearance.
